	<h1>Application decommissioning services</h1>
	
	<p>
	Many companies are faced with changing technology landscape in the marketplace to accommodate emerging platform 3 technologies such as Cloud and Mobile and this demands them to modernize their existing platform or decommission their legacy platform of applications.  Platform 3 Solutions provides application decommissioning services that delivers comprehensive solutions to decommission an application.

	<h1>Data Archival Services – Live Data Archival, Low active data, Inactive data</h1>

	<p>
	Years of acquisitions and mergers have led to enterprises having complex infrastructure with many applications performing the same functions on outdated hardware and software! This has led to the proliferation of various assorted technology systems leading to higher processing costs, less agility, increased complexity, and inconsistent performance quality.  This has led to the prioritization by enterprises to simplify the technology landscape by decommissioning non-strategic systems after their active business is migrated. The decommission process must follow all legal, regulatory and IRM guidelines. Decommissioning a system involves managing the run-out transactions on the application after migration, decommissioning the up-stream and down-stream interfaces then placing the application in read-only mode.  We then extract the data into our EMC InfoArchive where the data remains for its specified retention period, create user defined search screens and reports then finally decommission the hardware components and remove the chargebacks.  Following is a small description of InfoArchive.
	</p> 

	<h1>Infoarchive</h1>

	<p>
	EMC InfoArchive: a unified enterprise archiving platform that stores related structured data and unstructured content in a single, consolidated repository. This product enables corporations to preserve the value of enterprise information in a single, easily accessible, unified archive.
	</p>
	
	<p>
	<b>FLEXIBLE, UNIFIED ARCHIVE</b>
	<br>
	InfoArchive ingests structured data and unstructured content in a single, unified archive, providing a holistic view of related information.
	<br>
	<br>
	<b>ARCHIVE FOR COMPLIANCE</b>
	<br>
	Gain a long-term, compliant archive, meeting retention requirements and ensuring auditability, defensibility, and easy accessibility when needed.
	<br>
	<br>
	<b>COST REDUCTIONS</b>
	<br>
	Leverage cost savings in infrastructure, administration, and operations by archiving static and valuable information. Achieve even more significant cost savings by using InfoArchive to decommission legacy applications.
	<br>
	<br>
	<b>InfoArchive key points</b>
	<br>1. Archives structured and unstructured data from all legacy systems that require access to the data.
	<br>2. Data is archived in XML making it future proof and vendor and application neutral.  This means the data is never changed, it is archived in InfoArchive and looks the same as it did in the legacy application.  Once in InfoArchive we no longer require third party or application knowledge to retrieve the data for legal, regulatory or business purposes.
	<br>3. High performance, scalable and native XML platform that supports a flexible data model.  We can archive data from any source, DB2, Oracle, SQL and even flat file systems such as VSAM!
	<br>4. Also contains a framework that enables rapid application development to view the data.
	<br>5. Can be customized easily to suit any application and can support reporting requirements as well.
	<br>6. Legal holds and retentions
	<br>7. Protects chain of custody for compliance and legal vigor
	</p>
	
	<p>
	Data archival is the most important and critical step in decommissioning as it ensures that the data is safely stored and can be accessed in reduced cost storage while the more expensive legacy systems can be decommissioned and the resources supporting the legacy systems repurposed for more strategic efforts.  This is also the most complex step as we have to ensure that the data is transferred in an immutable fashion while all referential integrity is maintained and there is no data loss during the transformation.  We also have to consider the type of data archival and the cost associated with the archival during the retention period. We at Platform 3 Solutions provide the following services in regards to data archival.
